General Information

The Inclusive Hurricane Preparedness Conference will bring together emergency management and disability stakeholders from states throughout the Gulf Coast and the Eastern Seaboard to discuss the latest issues in preparing and responding to vulnerable populations during hurricanes.

This two-day conference is hosted by enableUS and the Community Emergency Preparedness Information Network (CEPIN) and will examine some of the greatest challenges that emergency managers face when responding to disability communities during hurricanes. The conference will focus on relationship building and the benefits of integrating disability organizations in hurricane planning and preparedness stages. Speakers from national, state and local government agencies and organizations will focus on programs that have worked in their communities as well as continued shortfalls and challenges that they experience.

Through networking breaks between each phase, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with speakers and other attendees to exchange information about best practices and share personal experiences fostering an environment of cooperation and education.
